About Terence
Dr. Terence "Terry" Rooney is a California psychologist with four decades of clinical experience. He holds the credential CA Psychologist 18919 and has spent many years in both public and independent practice. He draws on a broad set of approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and issues around self esteem.
He describes his work as classically trained with an eclectic toolbox. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented while staying open to deeper personal meaning. He often uses techniques that help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build coping skills for everyday life.
Over 40 years he has supported people through mood disorders, substance use concerns, trauma and relationship difficulties. He also brings experience with adoption and foster care, autism spectrum challenges, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns. This range shapes a flexible approach rather than a single method.
His methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Jungian and Existential ideas, and Mindfulness practices. He adapts these to each person’s goals, whether addressing career strain, parenting stress, or deeper questions about meaning and identity.
